Structural Synthesis and Analysis of Mechanisms with an Output Link Performing Two Rotational and One Translational Movements

The article considers mechanisms based on a hinged flat parallelogram with an additional link, ensuring the ability to maintain the insertion point of the tool installed on the output link. A rotational kinematic pair coupled to the base allows the plane of rotation of the articulated parallelogram to change the angle of inclination. The proposed design should have a greater load capacity than the available analogues, since the rotational kinematic pair mating the articulated parallelogram with the base is made in the form of two semi-axes, and the output link is located between the intermediate links of this parallelogram. The equality of the rotation angles of the output link and the intermediate links of the articulated parallelogram is ensured by the presence of additional links or belt drives. Three-dimensional models of these mechanisms are presented, and their structural synthesis is carried out in various modifications. Depending on the modification, it becomes possible to apply such mechanisms not only in industry, including additive technologies, but also in the field of medicine during surgical operations and in the study of plasma properties.
